In recent years due to the rapid growth and development of Taoyuan County, and
it has simultaneously transformed from an agricultural county to an industrial
county. Quanta Computer, AU Optronics, and Acer etc., are all stand here. The
county government gets the revenue of two hundred billions from taxes which is
the highest in all county. There are seven universities to be located in Taoyuan
County. With the County Cultural Department's much support and promotion for the
different cultural activities, including the Hakka's Cultural Festival and the
Family Village Cultural etc,. Taoyuan County has become a major cultural county.
Over the years the progress in Taoyuan County has been ahead of other counties.

Because of the Taoyuan International Airport, the Taoyuan County has entered the
new era of the Airport City. The legislative Yuan has passed the third reading
for the International Airport Campus Development Regulations. Besides the
central government's establishment of the Airport Campus Companies, the Taoyuan
County has established the Airport City Companies which focus on the development
of the surrounding area. The Council for
Economic Planning and Development in the Executive Yuan has passed the
Taoyuan Airport MRT Extension Proposition, extending two stops to the Zhongli
Train Station. The future MRT's greenline(Airport City MRT Line) will connect
the Airport City. We will win over the subsidiary funds the central government
for further development. When all the communication has been thoroughly planned
and prepared, surely the Taoyuan Airport City has a bright future in
expectation.

The population of the Taoyuan County has exceeded two millions so the Taoyuan
County is a quasi municipality now. After the completion of upgrade process
Taoyuan County will officially be the sixth municipality. At the same time the
funds allocated by the central government will be expectedly increased and the
number of the county government’s employees and the county councilors will
largely add as well. Therefore the Taoyuan County Council will take up its
responsibility seriously, strive for the welfare of the people, supervise the
county government for the large scale planning of construction and Development,
and endeavor to make Taoyuan a cosmopolitan city.

The 17th
County Council has 60councilors who are the elite from different cities and
towns in the county. I, Yi-Sheng am grateful for the support of all councilors
and take the responsibility of serving as the speaker. In order to have an
efficient council, supervise the county government and give better service to
local people, I have started to organize the County Council Consulting group
which is founded to value and respect public opinions, I, together with all
councilors, always stand on the front line. We must stand guard over the
responsibility of the county government operation in next years.

Taoyuan County
Council is the highest local legislative whose duties are to supervise the
county affairs and to serve citizens, but the County Council still maintains a
closely cooperative relationship with the county government and is always the
best supporter to the county magistrate Wu and his administrative groups
whenever it is necessary for them. The county council, together with the county
government will endeavor to make Taoyuan County a great prosperous county of a
new era.
